=== 8 March 1111 ===

//continued from [[v2session05|the previous session]]//

== Area 4) The Beholder Room ==

Once through the smashed door, the party discovered a room with steeped in
magic. There were several magical tiles arranged in a pattern that matched the
"Beholder" design on the door into this room.  It seemed to be some kind of
magical puzzle -- the end result of which was unknown.  However, since the
graverobbers //must// have come through this room, the party was determined to
solve it.

After a few misadventures, they eventually realized that the puzzle could be
solved by rearranging a trio of out-of-place tiles.  Once this was done, a green
ray shot from the ceiling down onto one of the tiles.  The floor where the beam
struck, vanished, revealing a ladder descending into darkness below.

== Area 5) Staircase ==

A pair of skeletal wolves and an Ogre Zombie were left in this area, either by
the builders of the tomb or (more likely) by the graverobbers the party was
pursuing.  After a difficult battle, the undead were destroyed.

== Area 6) Sabotaged Bridge ==

While crossing a rope bridge over an underground stream, the party discovered
(the hard way) that the bridge had been sabotaged.  This, along with the undead
previously discovered, gave the party the first clues that the graverobbers they
were pursuing were aware of being followed.

In the water, a "Flotsam Ooze" tried to pull people down and drown them.  After
a brief battle, the beast was destoyed.

== Area 7) Broken Chamber ==

In a rubble-filled side room, the party discovered a Choker lurking in a shaft
that led to the surface.  Despite having the "high ground", the creature
succumbed to the party's ranged attacks.

== Area 8) Forgotten King's Statue ==

The shaft from below opened at the feet of the Forgotten King's statue.  While
searching for the [[v2session05|escaped wolves]], the party had previously
discovered this statue, but hadn't spotted the concealed pit.

Now, they had a way of entering and leaving the tomb without having to navigate
the magical puzzle in the "Beholder Room".((The combat encounter in this area
was excised from the module-as-written))

== Area 9) Central Hub ==

Behind a closed door, the party senses evil and magic.  After a brief
preparation, they rushed into the room to discover a pair of sleeping
"Varags"((Goblinoid creatures with an amazing running ability)), along with a
Varag Zombie.  The creatures proved to be no match for the prepared and
battle-hardened heroes.

While the Varags clearly were part of the graverobber party, there was still no
clues as to //who// they were and //why// they were here.

//to be continued...//
